MHS Dual Enrollment (DE)

What is DE? Dual Enrollment provides High School students the opportunity to take college level coursework for credit which can be applied towards both high school and college graduation requirements. Dual enrollment students take approved college courses through approved college institutions, earning a course grade that will appear on both the college transcript and the Milton High School Transcript. The dual enrollment program covers the cost of tuition, mandatory fees, and textbooks for approved classes. Students may only have to pay course-specific fees and other fees that could be incurred (ex. late registration fee, lab fee, etc.).

Fulton County Schools has set consistent deadlines for all students who are applying to participate in the DE program. All Milton High School students must adhere to these deadlineseven though they may differ from the college deadlines (note: some college deadlines may be before FCS deadlines). For Summer or Fall DE, students must complete both the high school and college application requirements by March 31. For Spring DE, students must complete the high school and college application requirements by November 1.
